What All Flutes in a Complete Flute-Set
I’m growing my flute collection and aiming to have a complete flute-set one day. I don’t want to buy them all at once and would rather be excited about every new flute I get.
What all flutes are supposed to be there in a complete flute-set? I’d assume minimum 12 for all the 12 notes. But what about other octaves? TIA.

When I did, I also bought it one by one.
It was mainly based on the requirements of the key, the original song that I wanted to play was based on and also the Octave in which I wanted to play.
The biggest flute I have currently is a C# and then in the order of decreasing size D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F# and G
This has proven to be enough till now for me.
I’ve seen flutes going upto A at both ends.
I think there’s no limit if the flute maker is creative and the player talented enough. I’ve seen Ashwin sir playing Ocarinas and Ney flutes with same proficiency.
